Chapter 1731: : Arriving in San Francisco

Ye Chen returned to Gao Meilin's villa. Gao Meilin had already known that he would fly to the United States with the cultural exchange group tomorrow.
Gao Meilin didn't say anything except to pack his clothes and wash utensils.
Early the next morning, Aunt Fang made breakfast early. After Ye Chen and Gao Meilin's family said goodbye, they drove towards Pudong Airport.
When he arrived at Pudong Airport, Ye Chen had already seen the heads and members of the Shanghai Cultural Exchange Group.
The main persons in charge of the exchange group are Yu Shaohua, Yang Yang Yixian, Tang Ru, etc., and others like Fang Liang, Zhou Rulong, Wang Kun from the Shanghan School, Wang Jin, Lin Ying, Cao Yong, Yan Xueli, and Yan Zhiming from other schools of TCM. Xiang Yongsheng, Tang Zhi, Meng Rong and others all came over.
This time there were nearly 100 members of the cultural exchange group. Among the members, most of Ye Chen knew them.
However, he did not expect that even Zhang Rihuan would be here. This should be Tang Ru's relationship.
When they saw Ye Chen's arrival, other people gathered around to say hello, Ye Chen also seemed very humble to greet them.
Compared to Zhang Rihuan, who could only follow Tang Ru, this Ye Chen was naturally much better.
Ye Chen got his plane ticket from Yu Shaohua, and got on the plane at 8:45 in the morning. He thought he would meet Xiao Yuqing, but found that he didn’t. flight.
When the plane took off, Yang Yixian and Yu Shaohua were sitting next to Ye Chen. They chatted with Ye Chen from time to time.
"Why Dean Liao can't come?" Yu Shaohua asked.
"Lao Liao said he couldn't adapt to the jet lag upside down." Ye Chen said.
Yu Shaohua felt that Liao Wenen didn't want to participate in this kind of activity. If it was someone else, he would have long wanted to be the first to participate in a cultural exchange group that could communicate with without much pressure.
However, as the vice president of Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Liao Wenen gave up such a rare opportunity.
It takes about 13 hours to fly from Shanghai to San Francisco Airport. If you fly to the United States now, it will definitely be night in China.
However, it was daylight on the American side.
Thirteen hours seems to be a long time, but on the plane, there are both fast food lunch and fast food dinner, during which a variety of drinks and magazines are also provided.
You can rest if you feel bored.
Ye Chen chatted with Yu Shaohua and the others from time to time, and learned that they had been to Europe and the United States for several exchanges, so this time it was not a big deal.
That is, Ye Chen had just arrived in the United States for the first time.
When he saw that Yu Shaohua and Yang Yixian were both resting, Ye Chen continued to read the magazine boredly there.
At 22:00 Beijing time, it was around 10 in the morning when they arrived in San Francisco, so when they got off the plane and the dazzling sunlight was shining down, everyone except Ye Chen felt a little uncomfortable and felt that the jet lag was too far. Up.
Ye Chen called the young ladies in Shanghai and told them that when he had safely arrived in San Francisco, the other ladies asked him to pay attention to his safety, but there was nothing else.
When Ye Chen followed Yang Yixian and the others to go outside the San Francisco airport, they had already seen Chinese and overseas Chinese holding banners and holding flowers to welcome them.
Although Ye Chen and the others were not the leaders of the state, they were more civilians. Yang Yixian and Yu Shaohua got flowers from the overseas Chinese, and then Ye Chen and them boarded the Lincoln car and other luxury cars. It's towards Chinatown in San Francisco.
While driving, Ye Chen looked out from the car window and found that the United States was a little different from what he had imagined, and it was not as good as it was actually said on the Internet.
After the Chinese driver drove for about 20 minutes, he came to the entrance of the archway in San Francisco's Chinatown. Ye Chen and other members of the exchange team have seen more Chinese and overseas Chinese welcoming them.
As soon as he entered inside, Ye Chen saw that it was even more different from outside. Probably because he has seen a lot of Chinatowns in Vietnam and South Korea.
Therefore, here, he saw buildings that are more strongly related to Chinese culture, the advertisements of those stores, and even the Chinese songs released from those stores. There are also many Chinese, overseas Chinese, and other tourists in Chinatown. When more than a dozen cars drove in, they all stopped to watch.
Of course, most Chinese and overseas Chinese are already aware that this time it is the cultural exchange group of the Chinese Medical Association in Shanghai, so it naturally arouses the attention of many people.
When they came to the branch gate of the San Francisco Chinese Exchange Group, when the drivers stopped the car, Ye Chen and Yang Yixian got out of the car. As soon as they got off, Ye Chen heard it in various dialects with Chinese accent Coming here, if he hadn't seen many whites and blacks passing by, he would think he was in his own country.
This Chinatown center is really different from the outside.
After Ye Chen and Yang Yixian came down, more people in charge of cultural exchanges with overseas Chinese came over, and reporters from the Chinese Overseas Chinese News Agency also came to shoot.
Ye Chen followed the members of the cultural exchange group. When they entered, they knew that Ye Chen had not eaten dinner yet, they just ate fast food on the plane.
Therefore, after a brief interview by the news media, reporters and media, the head of the cultural exchange group immediately arranged for Ye Chen and the others to have a rich dinner, and then arranged to rest in a five-star hotel in Chinatown.
Ye Chen discovered that this is really like what Liao Lao said, it seems to be a process, taking a few group photos is just a cultural exchange.
After eating a rich Sichuan meal there and then being arranged to rest in the five-star hotel, Ye Chen was not as tired as the members of other cultural exchange groups except for putting his own things in it. He looked very energetic, except for a shower and a change of fresh clothes, he also came down from above.
When Ye Chen got down from the hotel and went to the Chinatown below, he found that it was the busiest place in Chinatown at this time. There were Chinese, overseas Chinese, whites, and blacks.
San Francisco’s Chinatown has been in business since the earliest Qing Dynasty, and has been operated by one generation of Chinese, two generations of Chinese, three generations, and even four generations of Chinese. Sixteen long crossing streets have been formed here, and it seems that at least they live Descendants of more than 200,000 Chinese.
Therefore, here, Ye Chen may hear Cantonese, Hokkien, and Mandarin with other local dialects but not such a strong accent.
Here, he saw gourmet restaurants with eight major cuisines, various domestic clothing, various medicinal stores, and various domestic specialty products.
So, here, he feels like he has arrived in a little China.
Although he and Yang Yixian were eating at that restaurant just now, Ye Chen still stops by himself to buy some snacks to eat, and then find a nice place to sit down.
